My internet setup has always been wired and in the past I’ve seen no reason to change it
…but
I now want to reduce the number of cables under my desk so I’ve installed a wireless card in the PC.(I was getting about 30+ MB/s on both the wired and wireless).
I then ran MSFS and now have stutters that occur every 3 seconds or so while flying over the Aleutian Islands. My sound also suffered with faint, weird, pulsed noises, sounds a bit like phasing of some sort. The stutters and sound pulses are not syncronised.
I’ve now gone back to wired connection, all smooth again.
I’m not a techy type, adequate at navigating a PC is my limit. Anyone have any idea what’s going on?

it’s the inherent nature of wireless/bluetooth devices. Buy some cable ties, spend a day rewiring everything. Save money on batteries.
The only “wireless” thing i own is a wireless headset because the cat decided wires tasted good. And here here i am anyway, with a USB dongle plugged into my computer with teeth marks on it…
I’m assuming your connected peripherals include joystick/hotas, mouse, keyboard, headset as well as your internet connection.

Portalearth420,
Peripherals as you suggest except no headset. speakers, keyboard, mouse, saitek x52 all wired…keyboard wireless on a dongle.
The biggest problem with wireless besides the slower speed compared to cable is the interference with other WiFi routers and electrical appliances spewing interference. Where I used to live, there were about a dozen WiFi routers in the neighborhood giving me grief. Also, I’ve added many WiFi “things” like Alexa that compete for bandwidth.
I agree that cables are ugly! Check the Internet for various solutions to hiding cables. I personally hired an electrician to run Cat5 cabling throughout my home with a cable run to each room. WiFi is only used by devices having no network connector.

Probably just interference on the wifi signal caused by walls, doors or other signals in the air. There are technological solutions but noen of them is cheaper then a Cat 6 cable and some cable management.

Thanks for the replies folks.
Going back to wired permanently.
I wonder how many others are getting “stutters” from a less than perfect wireless connection. I can’t say I’ve seen it posted as a solution anywhere.
